TIRES
Tire pressure and loading
Proper tire pressure and proper tire loading are
important factors. Overloading your tires can lead
to tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
Check tire pressure each day before you ride, and
be sure the pressure is correct for the vehicle load
according to the reference below.
Tire pressure should only be checked and adjusted
before riding, since riding will heat up the tires and
lead to higher inflation pressure readings.
Under inflated tires make smooth cornering difficult and can result in a rapid tire wear. Over inflated tires
have a smaller amount of tire in contact with the road which can contribute to skidding and loss of control.
Cold tire inflation pressures are:
FRONT 2.2 bar (2.20 kgf/cm2)
REAR 2.4 bar (2.40 kgf/cm2)
Proper tire condition and proper tire type affect vehicle performance. Cuts or cracks in the tires can lead to
tire failure and loss of vehicle control. Worn tires are susceptible to puncture failures and subsequent loss of
vehicle control. Tire wear also affects the tire profile, changing vehicle handling characteristics.
